I actually have access to WSJ, the paper, during the day, and I don't see a lot of the printed, business related articles in the sound track. I think Audible.com should either extend the length of the prog or focus on business news more, maybe arb. the opinion column.
BTW, newer version of iPOD allow you to fastward to the next article on audio book track. I don't know about other audio player, my iPod mini can, but the grand daddy of all iPod can't.

I've had this subscription for several months now and generally enjoy it. The one-hour time limit is just right for me to get it all in by the time I park my car at work. I'm most interested in business/finance news, "Yesterdays Markets", "Heard on the Street" and interviews with market authorities and experts. Please drop the editorials and the multiple long articles on the latest Wall Street soap opera, e.g., AIG, Morgan Stanley. I find the Mosbacher (sp?) technology articles informative, but boy does he bias towards Apple.

I have been subscribing to the WSJ for 5 months now.
It has taken the place of the radio during my daily commute.

Strong points include:
1) The business news that it emphasizes is a welcome departure from the negatively focused news (killing, robbing, etc) that dominates todays radio and TV news programs.
2) They select articles and read the whole thing. I appreciate the in depth coverage of topics. It is much better than the cursory 1 to 2 minute summaries so often used by other news broadcasters.
3) The weekend wine article is fun and guides me in my purchse of my wine for the coming week.

Weak points include:
1) The editorials tend to be extremely "conservative". This is to be expected in a business oriented newspaper.

I've been mostly pleased with my first month with the Journal. The weekend edition is by far the best part of the subscription in that it is a bit more light hearted and entertaining to listen to while doing something else on the weekends. :)

My only real complaint to add to the other great reviews: the front page/ lead story tends to be long winded and often repetitive in its information towards the end. I often find my self skipping the last sections of the story to move on to more substantive news. I wish that these lead articles could be slightly abbreviated and some additional content from the editorial page or other news could be added in its place.

I have listened to the WSJ daily read and then read the actual journal nearly every day for over 6 months. I love the audio, which I listed to on my way to work, but I wish that they would drop the editorial section and expand the main articles. The editorial section tends to be very political and even if you generally agree with the writers, they get annoying with their unabashed whining about "left wing" this and "liberal agenda" that....then again, this only accounts for about 20% of the program, so I would recommend it overall.

Until subscribing to the audible version of the WSJ I was not a WSJ reader. I have been missing a great paper. I always thought the Journal had only financial news, I was very wrong. The WSJ covers many other topics such as politics, current events, and world news. The depth and insight with which they cover most topics far exceeds most other daily newspapers I have read.

I particularly enjoy the service because I can download the content each day and listen at work.

Before becoming a WSJ audible subscriber, I was only moderately familiar with the print version. I find the news and market reporting top notch. However, I think the editorials sound like people on crazy pills.

All in all I'd say a informative read/listen with a good laugh now and then, intended or not.

I am a fan of the WSJ because it has something of interest to anyone who picks up the paper. Just a quick review of the front page will always bring out a few interesting articles I would like to read. Sometimes I will read all of the articles and sometimes I will enjoy just reading a portion of the article. Now translate that experience to an audible version.

Transferring the experience to an audible version you get a reader who is dangerous to listen to while driving because it makes me fall asleep at the wheel. They also have articles that just drone on and on. It became a marathon to listen to the whole subscription. My vote is the WSJ newspaper yes, WSJ Audible version no.

Having listened to 'The WSJ Morning Read' for a month, I found that it has much of what I am interested in knowing from that paper. It is a fantastic service, and the news reader is very good at what he does. I intend to keep renewing as long as it is this relevent to my needs, and hope that it will be for a long time to come.

Could do without the highly biased editorials that take political views that WSJ is not really qualified to comment on. The rest of the news is quite useful, giving information on lots of corporate activities. I would switch to IBD (Investors Business Daily) if Audible offerred it.
